What is this lesson about?
This holiday ESL lesson plan gets students talking about real holidays — from planning and packing to saving money and dealing with travel surprises. Learners share stories, discuss travel stress, and swap ideas for organising the perfect trip while learning natural, practical English.
 
How do students learn the new language?
Students explore new travel vocabulary in context through:
• fun “This or That” warm-ups and stress discussions
• a short, human story about a real trip to Italy
• speaking tasks on travel tips, packing, and problem-solving
• reflection questions that help learners express preferences and opinions naturally
 
Why is this lesson useful?
It teaches vocabulary students actually use when travelling while building confidence in everyday speaking.
By the end, learners can talk freely about trip planning, give advice, and share personal travel experiences.
 
Who is it for?
Designed for A2–B1 adult learners, this lesson suits teachers who want fun, relatable speaking practice built around travel, planning, and wellbeing-style reflection.
